After a full month with my #Steam OS console, I can safely say that it's the best gaming experience I've ever had: start a game on the TV and pick it up later on the #SteamDeck, amazing performance + all the commodities of Steam OS!
And yet, I'd say it's not worth it for most people to build something like this, compared to a #Playstation5 for example.
So, let's see what I picked, the issues I encountered, and the general experience!
Share the faces and voices of folks (only those who don't mind participating!) who worked on this and who will be reading bug reports. Briefly explain what big changes are coming, and why you're making them. And point to where users can read more, and sign up for future user surveys/interviews.
Das Kabinett hat den Startschuss für den Umstieg auf freie Software gegeben - ein Gewinn für #IT-Sicherheit, #Datenschutz und die heimische Digitalwirtschaft.
Langfristiges Ziel ist die vollständige digitale Souveränität des Landes.
It takes a second to run the formatter, but it requires hours to review the massive patch to ensure there aren't any bad changes hiding among all the spaces and brackets moved around.
Our subscriptions mostly pay for the salesmen and the ads. They sell ads first, IT second. So I'm not gonna cry for RedHat. The image of the poor developers working in a cave, struggling to make money is only in our mind. They had a perfectly functional model but decided to sabotage some of it to try to squeeze even more money....
This is the first of, probably, many posts about the changes to how Red Hat distributes RHEL sources, RHEL clones in general. Not to mention the past, present, and future of FOSS development and business.
Short version: There's probably something in this post for everybody to disagree with.
Alright, time to sit down and slowly grind through the milestone for #bevy 0.12 :) There's a ton of good work in the 72 (:sob:) linked #opensource PRs there, but not all of it is going to be ready. Let's go over them one-by-one, and see what can be safely cut, what needs to be reviewed and what we should prioritize.
When anyone spends their resources making something and then gives it away for free they should be greeted firstly with gratitude. They should be greeted secondly with gratitude. They should be greeted lastly with gratitude.
Too much #FOSS#OpenSource community rage and contributor burnout stems from a strange forgetfulness that no one has to contribute anything this way. It's always a wonder. Let's chill out and be a little more kind and a lot more grateful.
The reality is they're still better than a lot of companies claiming to do #OpenSource but it feels like a betrayal because they were the hero of open source for so long
Are there any #opensource alternatives or #privacy respecting apps similar to #Pocket? I want a reader where I can save webpages to read later and possibly organise my bookmarks better. Most of my bookmarks are articles and documentation.
If Lemmy is not your cup of tea as an alternative to Reddit, maybe try open-source federated Kbin instead
Yes, Reddit is going through its own API pains right now, and of course it is anyway a centralised social network much like Facebook and Twitter. So the discussion around alternatives has been coming up again.

One of the hard things about the #RedHat thing is that #CentOS's existence as a community rebuild was so often touted by people at Red Hat as a testiment to Red Hat's commitment to #opensource. It wasn't whether or not they could shut it down, but that they knew about it and intentionally didn't. Of course, there were those at Red Hat who disagreed with that back then, but it was very much a pitch point for what Red Hat was about in the #Linux space.
Keeping Open Source Open https://rockylinux.org/news/keeping-open-source-open/ It seems like the Rocky Linux team is willing to find creative solutions to problems, even if it requires a bit of hacking. I am curious if Red Hat is willing to engage in this game of whack-a-mole. Was it truly beneficial RedHat? Was it worth it? #rhel#redhat#opensource#linux
In this one, we have the Cyber Resiliency Act, a new EU set of regulations that might seriously harm Open Source software, we have repairable laptops from #Framework and (in the future) from #Lenovo, and we have some big performance improvements for #Intel GPUs on Linux:
This week, we have #Ubuntu working on an immutable system using Snaps, Red Hat dropping the LibreOffice RPMs to use the Flatpak instead (also impacts Fedora), and a lot of cool @gnome projects being worked on!
Open Source community after Red Hat decides to go closed source 😂 #linux#redhat#rhel#opensource By limiting the RHEL public sources to CentOS Stream, it will now be more difficult for community/off-shoot enterprise Linux distributions like Alma Linux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux, etc, to provide 1:1 binary compatible builds against given RHEL releases.
Open source folks, I need your help. There's that number, floating around the internet for YEARS now, that claims that ~70% of modern software components are made up of open source software.
I cannot, for the life of me, find the actual source for that. As in, who arrived at that estimation and how.
Can someone please help me track that down or put me in touch with someone who might know?
Reminder that RedHat makes A LOT of money already. The results of the 2019 fiscal year show that RedHat spends twice as much money on ads and sales people than on developers. (www.businesswire.com)
